We're not going to lie, we thought it was a pretty good quip on her part!"

Popular gossip columnist Perez Hilton appears to have Detroit's back (well, sorta) after Lena Dunham took a jab at the city last week during an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show." Associated Press

DETROIT, MI - Celebrity gossip writer Perez Hilton defended Detroit on Monday, just a few days after Lena Dunham, the creator of the HBO show "Girls," took a jab at the city during a recent interview on The Howard Stern Show."

"We're not going to lie, we thought it was a pretty good quip on her part!," Hilton wrote. Snappy and well-timed, just like her writing!

"However, the comment has very much divided the inhabitants of Michigan's most famous city, many of whom DO
NOT appreciate their home being associated with obesity and are
speaking out against what they claim to be an unfair representation in
the media!"

Hilton then posted nine response from readers with Detroit ties (people he described as Detroitans), and it included a strange one from Bizarre, the former member of Eminem's D-12 group.

Bizarre's take posted on Hilton's site: "I think she’s a rock star, very edgy. Shout out to Justin Bieber!"

Yeah, I don't understand that response either.

Hilton ends his take on the Dunham-Detroit controversy with his claim that Dunham likely didn't mean to target Detroit specifically.

"... from our own perspective, we tend to think that
Miz Dunham was probably not going out of her way to diss anyone in
particular, but instead was merely trying to point out that Hollywood's standard
for the size of women is MUCH more skewered and unrealistic than the
reality of most female bodies throughout the rest of the country!

"So we sincerely hope that if she DOES choose to speak out on this
latest controversy to essentially have stemmed from an issue that's
already been resolved, she expands upon THOSE issues instead of singling
any person or place out!"

What do you think about the Dunham-Detroit controversy and Hilton's take?
